A product icon of modern times

Audemars Piguet Royal OakDual Time

The "Royal Oak" (named after a famous sailing ship of the British fleet) contributed significantly to the success and the reputation of the brand Audemars Piguet and — similar to the Oyster models of Rolex — can be counted to the product icons of modern times. Characteristic of this watch designed by Gérald Genta, which entered 1972 the market as "the world's first luxury sports watch", is the screwed, octagonal case and the integrated metal band. The "tapisserie" dial is another trademark of the watch and the brand. First, the Royal Oak was launched with the extra flat automatic calibre AP 2120, then with the calibre AP 2121, and now, the Jumbo variant of the watch is equipped with the calibre 3120.
